It was probably a 73, but I cant be sure. It belonged to a friend. The bad thing was, I pulled over to let him drive. That's when the cops pulled up. Lucky me.
It was that Orange color that was so popular. It cornered really nice and had a smooth 5 speed.

 

Good thing we didn't need all those extra brain cells!
A friend of mine got pulled over in his Datsun 2000 for having a headlight out.
When the cop leaned on his fender to write the ticket the headlight came back on. He just tore up the ticket, got back in his cruiser and left.

 

Well, I finally got my ride back, it's been in the shop for almost two weeks, so I been driving my sled (2005 Dodge Ram 4X4) back and forth to work in glen burnie (damn that was expensive!!!)

Now for my take on AA. Well the car did pass emissions. Here is a breakdown on the work they did:

Replaced the cat, with hi-flow cat, found out the fuel pressure regulator was bad, replaced that too. Put car back together, found a leaking injector seal, ordered parts...waited, wrong parts delivered, ordered new parts ...waited, guess what wrong parts....waited again.

They had to deal with me on the phone and in the showroom giving them the blues over why my car was not ready. (this was after two 70.00 fill ups in my truck) They explained the delay, I was not happy. No FC for the holiday weekend damn I was pissed.

Finally they get the correct parts (injector seals) in and put her back together.

Cost almost 900, but they kicked me a 200+ discount for my pain and suffering. (I felt like a crack addict without their pipe...)

Final thoughts:

Seems that good work was done, their only downside was they did not call me with updates, I had to call them (i guess I'm high maintenance, and require daily updates, or something close to it.)

Would I go back, sure if I can't fix something myself.

just my 2 cents.

 

It's not really common for shops to call you unless they find something new that is wrong or when the car is ready to be picked up. I know how it is though for sure.
Glad to hear that your car is all fixed up.

 

no posts for over 24 hours? what gives!

I shall post pics of my broked *** engine shortly...

 

Sure you will. Besides I already seen it.

 

btw, that mullet ride is a keeper.

 

... and so are these.

 

 

Boobies and rotors! Sexy!

 

Ouch! That's what you call a bad rotor right Jon? What you puttin in, a reman or you gonna do some porting? Hope you get it back on the road soon.
Hey Dave, call me when you're done with work tomorrow and maybe I can swing by and pick up that rent-a-relay!!!

 

Rotor looked fine to mee. Just some minor imperfections...I'd put it back in!

 

Thanks for lettin me stop by Dave so I could get off my *** and fix my own damn problem, haha! Glad it wasn't anything more serious. I think my A/F is actually richer than I thought. I opened it up on the way home and it would shoot down to 11.7 so I think I'm fine. Probably just like you said, it's isolated in one part of the map.
Anyone goin to the MSCW meeting tomorrow night in Tyson's? I'll stop by there since I'll be working in VA all day.

Ya, I gotta work in Wilmington Delaware on Sat. I know it's on the way but I'll be drivin the hybrid up there, so no need to stop. Have fun!

 

^You have a Hybrid and an RX-7? Is there some sort of inner conflict there?
Maybe we should ask Dr. Phil.

 

no he has the best of both worlds....a fast car that sucks up premium and he has the mileage sponge.
